Last week's SNL intro monologue

Penny for your thoughts ...

Some of his skit is funny. Some wasn't. IMO.
Overall I think it is good to find humor in challenging situations.
As long as it isn't mean spirited.

IMO, funny or not, stimulating discussion on taboo/edgy topics, while uncomfortable now, is always beneficial in the long run.

I think good artists and comics drag us (sometimes kicking and screaming) into what, eventually, is an improved future.

I agree. I don't believe in sweeping difficult topics under the rug. Exposing the truth is always a good thing. It is our responsibility to speak the truth. It's the only way to uncover the problems and work on them making this world a better place.
